Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in the structure of a lid for a portable electronic device.

In order to protect a portable electronic device from damage and dust on the operation panel surface of the device body, the device body is usually covered with a lid when not measuring. Therefore, when performing necessary measurements on such electronic equipment, for example in a factory, the lid is removed from the equipment body, placed in its place, and then placed in a pocket such as a leather case that stores the equipment body. The measurement probe is taken out from the equipment and connected to the signal introduction connector on the main body of the device to perform the required measurements.

Therefore, in the case of the above-mentioned portable electronic devices,
Since the lid is removed from the instrument body and placed at each measurement location, there is a problem that the lid may become dirty, damaged, or left behind.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, there are devices in which a lid is attached to the main body of the device using screws. However, since such electronic equipment has a lid protruding from the main body of the equipment, the lid often hits factory equipment during measurement or movement within the factory. In this case, not only the lid is damaged, but also the electronic circuit of the main body of the device is affected. Furthermore, since the lid protrudes from the main body of the device, it obstructs the forward view, making it extremely dangerous to step on the device not only when taking measurements but also when moving the device. Furthermore, if the lid is left in place during measurement, or if the lid is placed in a storage location and the main body of the instrument is taken out, the lid is often misplaced or lost. Therefore, there are many requests from measurement personnel to be able to handle the device body and the lid body as one unit with the above-mentioned defects improved.

On the other hand, the measurement probe is stored in a pocket provided in the case, if one is available, or is carried directly in the hand if there is no case.
As a result, in the former case, a case is always required, but some devices do not require a case. In this case, as in the latter case, the measurement probe must be carried around in the hand, which inevitably complicates the work and is inconvenient because the user cannot use his or her hands when necessary.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and is a portable device that eliminates dirt, damage, and loss of the lid, eliminates visual obstruction caused by the lid, and allows the measurement probe to be stored even when there is no case. The purpose is to provide a lid structure for electronic equipment.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. This portable electronic device consists of a device main body 1 and a lid body 20. A hanging band 2 is attached to the front side surface 1a of the device main body 1 so that it can be hung around the neck during measurement, and the device main body 1 itself is attached to the front side surface 1a.
a is formed in a curved shape so as to be in close contact with the body when suspended by the hanging band 2, and furthermore, the top panel 1b side slopes downward at an angle θ from the front side surface portion 1a side to the opposite side. It is shaped like this to make it easier to see. Further, a plurality of operation buttons 3 and a display section 4 are arranged on the upper panel surface 1b, and a probe storage section 6 for storing a measurement probe 5 is provided on the same upper surface side adjacent to the upper surface panel 1b. Further, a cord storage recess 7 is formed by cutting out a part of the corner connecting the upper surface panel 1b and the lower surface 1c located on the probe storage section 6 side. The cord storage recess 7 is formed, for example, in an inverted L shape from the top to the bottom, and is provided with a cord folding protrusion 8 in parallel from one side 1d. Furthermore, a signal introduction plug 9 is attached to one side of the upper part of the cord storage recess 7. When carrying around the device body 1 and repeating measurements, the plug 11 provided at the end of the curled cord 10 is connected to the connector 9, and the other end of the curled cord 10 is used to store the inverted L-shaped cord. Recess 7
and the protrusion 8, and then pull it onto the cord folding protrusion 8 on the lower side and fold it back. Thereafter, the curled cord 10 is guided to the upper side of the housing, and the measuring probe 5 at the tip end of the cord is stored in the probe storage section 6. In this case, although not shown, when the measurement probe 5 is stored in the probe storage section 6, the probe storage section 6
The switch inside is turned on and the power supply line is turned off.

On the other hand, the lid 20 is provided with a latching clip 21, which is made by cutting and raising the lid itself, approximately at the center of one end of the front surface thereof, and a probe storage area is provided on the side opposite to the clip 21. 6 is formed with a relief portion 22 when the measurement probe 5 is housed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, on the back side of the lid body 20, there is a probe support 23 and a plug that support the measurement probe 5 and the plug 11 in the width direction and can also be used to hang the curl cord 10. A support body 24 is provided, and a retaining plate 25 for retaining only the curl cord 10 is disposed in between.

Therefore, since the lid structure of the portable electronic device is as described above, when performing required measurements in a factory etc., after removing the lid casing 20 from the device casing 1, By hooking the clip 21 onto the belt of the person performing the measurement, it is possible to avoid problems such as dirt and damage that occur when the device is placed on the factory floor as in the prior art. Of course, since the lid 20 is attached to the person's body, there is no need to lose it, and the problem of the lid 20 obstructing the front vision, which is conventional, can be solved.

When carrying an electronic device around the factory and making measurements at multiple locations, insert the curled cord 11 into the cord storage recess 7 with the plug 11 inserted as shown in Figure 1.
If the measuring probe 5 is fitted between the protrusion 8 and folded back by the protrusion 8 and stored in the probe housing 6 as shown in the figure, the curled cord 11 will not wobble and the trouble of holding it in the hand as in the conventional case is eliminated. It disappears. Furthermore, after the measurement is completed, the measuring probe 5 is removed from the device main body 1, and then the measuring probe 5 and the plug 11 are attached to the probe support 23 and the plug support 23, respectively, as shown in FIG.
4 and hook the curled cord 10 on the support 23, hanging plate 25, support 24, etc., the measurement probe 5 etc. can be inserted into the lid 20 without the need for a case. It can be stored in.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Although the clip 21 is provided by cutting and raising the lid 20, it may be made of a completely separate material and provided on the lid 20. Also, although not shown, the measurement probe 5
After fitting into the concave portions of the supports 23 and 24, they are prevented from coming off with appropriate metal fittings or the like.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a clip for hanging is provided on the surface side of the lid so that it can be hung on the measurer's band during measurement, etc.
Problems such as dirt, damage, and powder loss on the lid can be solved. Further, it is possible to provide a lid structure for a portable electronic device in which measurement probes and the like can be stored, carried, and stored in the device without a case.
